SUMMARY:Pasture Walk Featuring NoFence system\, Bale Grazing Project\, Forage Flush Management
DESCRIPTION:Light lunch provided \nPasture walks are meant to be a sharing of thoughts\, ideas\, and information in a production setting. This event will focus on a few different aspects of grazing management\, including first flush\, bale grazing\, and the opportunities with electronic fencing\, including the NoFence pilot project in which Hoffman’s participated over the winter on both sheep and cattle. \nRoseann and Scott Hoffman will be sharing their experiences with NoFence\, their farm’s transition processes (current transition is to fall calving)\, and other aspects of their grazing journeys. Cost-share opportunities that can assist in your transitions will also be discussed. Regional Crops/Soils Educator Scott Reuss will be on hand to share information from the state-wide bale grazing soil health research project of which Hoffman’s are a part. Paddock and hay acres’ nutrient management will also be reviewed\, with a quick overview of nutrient considerations to maximize forage quality and quantity. \nProper forage management equals optimum animal performance!

SUMMARY:Agroforestry in a Grassland Landscape Context
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Southern Driftless Grasslands \nRegister Here \nHabitat needs of wildlife that depend on large\, contiguous tracts of open lands – grassland birds and migratory Monarch butterfly in particular – is especially important in the southern Driftless Area in Wisconsin\, Illinois\, Iowa\, and Minnesota. Agroforestry is an increasingly discussed agricultural practice with many benefits but when inappropriately sited can have detrimental impacts on species of federal and state concern. Siting projects with landscape context in mind is critical to supporting wildlife on working lands in a grassland landscape. Join us to share knowledge and considerations for agroforestry planning in context of landscape scale goals. \nLunch to be provided.

SUMMARY:Bulas Pleasant Valley Farm - Summer Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Wisconsin Women in Conservation \nRegister Here \nPack your camp chair and join us for a summer’s afternoon in June!  \n \nAll women farmers\, landowners and conservationists from Sauk\, Columbia\, Green Lake and surrounding counties are welcome to attend– whatever your background\, from beginners to experts! \n \nCurious about sustainable\, organic farming practices? This is the field day for you! Maureen has progressed through various models of production\, from conventional\, to organic\, to what is now termed as regenerative. Maureen is the Sauk County Conservation Coach for the WiWiC project and has been instrumental in implementing conservation practices on the land. At this field day\, you will get to hear from her on why conservation is so important to this family\, and how they have prioritized this work on the family farm. We are thrilled to also have Maureen’s daughter\, Justine\, participate in this field day. She centers conservation in her career path and her role on the family farm. We’d love to have you join them in conversation about what they are thinking about and planning for next steps on the farm.  \n \nCatering will be provided by The Relish Tray Bistro and Catering- focusing on the foods grown on the farm (doing beef sliders and a variety of veggie-forward dishes based on what is in season). This is a woman-owned business.  \n \nPlease note that we will need participants to bring camp or lawn chairs. Thank you!  \n \nResource Experts Attending: Conservation Coach Maureen Bula\, Bula’s Pleasant Valley Farm  \nSpeakers:  \nJanice Kelly: USDA-NRCS Resource Conservationist located in Baraboo \nMelissa Schlupp: Sauk County Land Resources & Environment Department\, Conservation Manager \nWisconsin Women in Conservation Host: Allison Crook\, WI Farmers Union  \nLocation: Bula’s Pleasant Valley Farm  \n \nEvent Details: \n\nEvent is free to attend but registration is required and space is limited.\nWomen\, all who identify as such\, are welcome to attend – from landowners to farmers to conservationist enthusiasts – whatever your background\, from beginners to experts!
